Mitochondrial Eve

Mitochondrial Eve is the concept that there is an ancestral species that all races of humankind came from that started in Africa and spread around the world. The first picture shows a rough depiction of what our "ancestral mother" may have looked like.

My sunflower, sorry the pictures had to be hand drawn!\

The progression that my sunflower seed made over four weeks, these are the first three and..

This is what it looks like today, it wilted because it was trying to find the sun!

S.O.P.

Tying shoe laces

1.0   Scope and Application

1.1   This procedure is used for tying shoes in an efficient and comfortable manner

2.0   Summary of Method

2.1   Manipulating shoestrings into a bow that will securely keep shoes on feet but can be unfastened with relative ease

3.0   Inter References

3.1   Inter References are not applicable to this method

4.0   Apparatus and Materials

4.1   Shoe (1 or 2)

4.2   Shoe laces (laced throughout the shoe)

5.0   Procedure

5.1   Pull laces until tight with a lace in each hand

5.2   Cross the laces forming an “X” shape while maintaining the tightness

5.3   Put the lace in the right hand beneath the bottom of the “X” and pull. You should be left with a “V” shape.

5.4   Make a loop with the left lace, pinching it at the base of the loop

5.5   Take the right lace and wrap once around the base of the loop

5.6   You should be left with a second loop formed around the first

5.7   Pull the right lace through the second loop

5.8   Pull the newly formed third loop and the first loop. This will eliminate the second loop.

6.0   Quality Control

6.1   The end result should be a knotted shoe with the two loops and two loose lace ends. The knot should hold and not come undone

Inductive vs Deductive reasoning:

Inductive-Takes events and makes generalizations about the information found

Deductive- Takes generalizations and comes to a specific conclusion

Burgess Shale video

I'm studying the Burgess Shale in Scientific Inquiry and this video shows an animation of what the Burgess Shale might have looked like and what the inhabitants of the Shale might have looked like as well. The Burgess Shale was in what we know today as Canada, but there were fossils found there that dramatically disprove many previous ideas of evolution that we know today. The reason is because these fossils are imprints of the soft parts of these animals.

Ways of communicating

There are many styles of communication. Communication styles include visual, auditory, ways of writing, languages, the arts, body language, etc. Interpretations are the perfect example of successes and failures within the subject of communication, because ideas and thoughts can be conveyed to others differently. This also connects with the idea of clarity of thoughts. Conveying your personal information to others and allowing them to be a part of your understanding allows for the idea of sharing unbiased information. With so many ideas on communicating provides a wider perspective on the whole concept of communication.
